A "Bearer Token" is the common type of "Access Token" in oAuth2 and used by 
many APIs.  

In oAuth2, a client often authenticates with a key+secret and is issued a 
"Bearer Token" in return. The "Bearer Token" is then sent in the HTTPS 
headers, and can be invalidated from the authorizing application.
